I think "ID" for the first column is fine, and maybe just "Description"
for the second. I don't think we require targets to promise uniqueness
for their own info, and the column headers are just hints, not complete
documentation on what one might expect to see in the column; so it
should be something a little vague and generic.
We alway change it later if user feedback is negative.
